INTRODUCTION The study aimed to explore clinical influence of prostatic stones on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), seminal plasma cytokines, and serum biomarkers. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 70 men aged ≤50 years with LUTS divided into 2 groups: group with stones (GSt) and group without prostatic stones (GNoSt). All subjects completed the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) q...

Bacterial infection is a common complication after Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT). Morganella morganii is ubiquitous Gram-negative facultative anaerobe, which may cause many kinds of opportunistic infection. Herein we report a case of a 55-year-old man who presented with frequent urination, urgency, and mild pain that comes and goes low in the abdomen and around the anus. The pa...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate TMPRSS2:ERG fusion rates in tissue, urine, blood, and pubic hair samples in a cohort of patients with localized prostate cancer and to correlate these findings with various clinicopathological parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cohort of 40 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer (RRP group) and 10 control patients...

Background: DD3 is the most prostate cancer-specific gene described to date. To assess the clinical utility of DD3 a time-resolved fluorescence-based, quantitative RT-PCR analysis for DD3 was developed. Methods: The diagnostic potential of DD3 was determined by quantitative measurement of DD3 transcripts in non-malignant and malignant prostate specimens. Moreover, DD3 transcripts were determine...

thirty cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia and 30 cases of prostatic adenocarcinoma were selected and stained by agnor (argyrophilic staining of the nucleolar organizer region) method. specimens were obtained by either prostatectomy (open!tijr) or needle biopsy of the prostate. in this study, the sections of prostatic adenocarcinoma were reviewed. 6 cases were diagnosed as well-differentiated...

This communication reports the results of an investigation into the aetiology of uveitis, which was recently carried out at the Institute of Ophthalmology in London. During the period from May, 1957, to December, 1958, 248 male patients attending the Institute for the first time have been investigated. All new male patients with uveitis, whether anterior or posterior, were examined, thus elimin...

Prostatic intra-epithelial neoplasia (PIN) is considered a precursor of invasive carcinoma, characterized by proliferation and anaplasia of cells lining prostatic ducts and acini. In this study, we applied the PIN grading system on one-hundred cases of prostatic carcinoma and one-hundred cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia, then compared the results. 74% of prostatic carcinoma and 51 % of...
